A Wireless Tens Massage Therapy System

Pain is the body's warning system. It alerts us to injury or Illness. When the body is functioning normally, pain serves as a vital warning sign when something is not right. In are without pain a person would not know when to get away from danger or to seek medical help. Pain signals in the form of electrical impulses, travel through the body's nervous system from the site of the injury or Ailment to the brain. Then, at the brain prosthesis impulses are interpreted as pain.

T. E. N. S. Stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. Pain, whether chronic (long-term) or acute (short-term, often from surgery or trauma), can be relieved through a variety of methods including drugs, topical ointments, surgery, and electrical stimulation. T. E. N. S. Devices deliver mild electrical pulses through the skin to stimulate the cutaneous (surface) and afferent (deep) nerves to help control pain. Unlike drugs or topical ointments, T. E. N. S. Does not have any known side effects.

Electric Massager / Tens Massager Therapy Device Is Based On Traditional Chinese Medicine(Tcm) Theory, Physics, Bionics And Electrobiology Developed Through Many Years Of Clinical Practice.

History Of T.E.N.SElectrical stimulation for pain control was used in ancient Rome, 63 A.D. It was reported by Scribonius Largus that pain was relieved by standing on an electrical fish at the seashore. In the 16th through the 18th century various electrostatic devices were used for headache and other pains. Benjamin Franklin was a proponent of this method for pain relief. In the nineteenth century a device called the electreat, along with numerous other devices were used for pain control and cancer cures. Only the electreat survived into the twentieth century, but was not portable, and had limited control of the stimulus.

The first modern, patient-wearable TENS was patented in the United States in 1974. It was initially used for testing the tolerance of chronic pain patients to electrical stimulation before implantation of electrodes in the spinal cord dorsal column.The electrodes were attached to an implanted receiver, which received its power from an antenna worn on the surface of the skin. Although intended only for testing tolerance to electrical stimulation, many of the patients said they received so much relief from the TENS itself that they never returned for the implant.

A number of companies began manufacturing TENS units after the commercial success of the Medtronic device became known. The neurological division of Medtronic, founded by Don Maurer, Ed Schuck and Dr. Charles Ray, developed a number of applications for implanted electrical stimulation devices for treatment of epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and other disorders of the nervous system.

Today many people confuse TENS with Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS). EMS and TENS devices look similar, with both using long electric lead wires and electrodes. TENS is for blocking pain, where EMS is for stimulating muscles.

What is TENS?Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a therapy that uses electrical current delivered through electrodes to the skin for pain relief. Electrical stimulation of the nerves may encourage the body to produce natural painkillers called endorphins, which may block the perception of pain.

TENS treatments are performed using the two electrodes (wires that conduct electrical current) connected from the machine to the skin. The electrodes are often placed on the area of pain or at a pressure point, creating a circuit of electrical impulses that travels along nerve fibers. The machine can be set for different wavelength frequency, such as a steady flow of electrical current or a burst of electrical current, and for intensity of electrical current. These settings are usually determined by your physical therapist or doctor. After an introduction to and instruction in this therapy, TENS can be done at home.

What Is TENS Used For?TENS is used to relieve pain for several different types of illnesses and conditions. It is used most often to treat muscle, joint, or bone problems that occur with illnesses such as osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia, or for conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, tendinitis, or bursitis. TENS has also been used to treat sudden (acute) pain, such as labor pain, and long-lasting (chronic) pain, such as cancer pain.Although TENS may help relieve pain for some people, its effectiveness has not been proven, and it is not considered to be a long-term solution to pain.

Is TENS Safe?TENS is generally considered safe, although the machine could harm an adult or child if misused. Have your physicaltherapist or doctor show you the proper way to use the machine, and follow these instructions carefully.
